February 1, 201610 yr Hi All, Just installed UnRAID for the first time in December and I love it! I have plenty of docker apps and had a VM up within the first week running on my cache drive using network bridging with br0. In these VMs, I am connecting to Android phones via VNC on my network, just fine, stable for weeks with 1 VM. I decided to spin up another VM that was a copy of the first, so I shut down the first VM, copied the VM image to somewhere else on the cache drive (via MC), made a new VM in Unraid, pointed it to the copied disk, scrambled the MAC addresses a few times and booted it up. All seemed great! It runs like that, no issues, for about 8-12 hours. After that time-frame, one of the two VMs loses connectivity and pulls a static 164. IP and cannot connect to the internet. Once I reboot both machines, there are no issues. (Has happened 2-3 times in the past few days). Any ideas what would be causing this? If I only run 1 VM, there is no issue.
February 1, 201610 yr Just thinking out loud, I wonder if it is due to the fact that both VMs have the same network name? Maybe the router gets confused...
February 1, 201610 yr Author Both VMs have different MAC addresses. The names of the VMs are different in the UnRAID configuration page. As far as routers - this is directly connected to my main Airport Extreme.
February 1, 201610 yr The names of the VMs are different in the UnRAID configuration page. I think he's saying, is the Computer Name in the VM the same? Are they both named "Joe's PC"
February 1, 201610 yr Very good point. Since I copied the VM image, I'd assume the same. Yeah, Windows DNS may be having some issues.
April 5, 201610 yr Were you able to resolve this issue? I am having the same problem. My VMs have unique MAC addresses which differ from the host and have unique names in Windows. I do have IPv6 active on my network. Thanks.
